This is a prime reason why I hate the save statistic

Franklin was awful yet again but somehow will have another save tacked onto his total. This will give the kool-aid drinking Tony apologists more reason to put Franklin on a pedestal. I guess I should finally just give up and let go of an ideal “closer by committee” situation since Tony is obviously going to ride this experiment to its awful conclusion.

Well not only that...

But it takes starts away from really good pitchers and gives them to a bad pitcher.

The Phillies have 51 games to go, so that’s about 10 turns left for each guy in the rotation. Add in a 6th guy and it comes out to 8.5 turns apiece. So a couple guys may only lose one start, but the rest will lose 2.

And there’s no reason at all to take starts from guys like Lee, Hamels, and Happ to please Jamie Moyer.

I've met him in person

he is as big a douche as he appears on TV. Nothing really to admire about the guy,, in a grand what is life all about sense. Just another dick.

If it doesn't cost us anything from the minor league system

I’m kinda excited about maybe getting John Smotlz. I was still impressed with his velocity and maybe….just maybe Dave Duncan can make him 1 out of the every 4 he actually turns back into a serviceable pitcher.

john smoltz

is not the kind of guy DD turns around. smoltz knows how to pitch. he knows how to pitch better than DD can teach him how to pitch. it’s a matter of whether or not his body will cooperate

John Smoltz doesn't have an outpitch vs LHP

figuring things like that out is something Dave Duncan prides himself in. He tried it with Looper and it actually worked for 2 seasons. He tried with Wellemeyer and it kinda worked last year.

by Hardcore Legend on Aug 13, 2009 12:51 AM EDT up reply actions  

yeah, but

looper and welly are a little different scenario. if we get smoltz, we’re not going to fix him. we’re just going to try and squeeze whatever juice out that is left in him.

i guess i’m not saying DD or any pitching coach couldn’t help him, but smoltz is smoltz. he knows how to pitch. if anything, i’d like to reel in smoltz, let him retire as a cardinal and let him be oquendo’s pitching coach in two years or whenever.

think a coaching staff of smoltz and ozzie, matheny can be the bench coach and oquendo the skipper. sign me up

interesting

because that’s the big knock against Smoltz this year. He is getting absolutely destroyed by lefties

They showed them

throwing out the right guy finally. Did they just show him the door and say run fast?

man, the cubs are inept at every facet of running a professional baseball organization

though I will say I don’t feel bad for the guy who did get tossed (he was acting like an ass too). I do hope someone rats the guy out, though. And I will begrudgingly commend the second place commenters over at BCB. The sentiment was pretty mcuh characterized by general condemnation over there, as it well should have been.

How bout?

Smoltz + Duncan for Glaus and Ankiel

by prophetjohn on Aug 13, 2009 1:04 AM EDT reply actions  

I hope so

otherwise the whole red berry theme I incorporated into the pies I baked has been lost on him. But this is me being naive about professional sports—>he is a Cardinal to me and I think he ’ll be around after this year.

by mattyp on Aug 13, 2009 1:08 AM EDT up reply actions  

he might be around after next year

it’s just a feeling of belonging or something. like lugo will be around next year, but he doesn’t feel like a cardinal yet

everyone who’s been here all year feels like cardinal. even thurston

Lugo is like... Albert's little buddy

Which scares me a little, but I have faith that the Mang can handle it.
